The same outcry you all had against the twizzys. The perception of what this tour is, is totally misguided, it is not a motocross atv tour nor are the bikes high powered atvs. They are as quiet as a standard 150cc scooter. Read the proposal before making absurd comments. When they introduced jetski tours, it was the same outcry about how those machines where going to be hazzards and noisey and cause havic to the see life, i bet you all rent them now. This tour will not impact the trails it is not a motocross tour.

Lets see now has anyone really researched ATV’s?
What I have seen in much larger countries is that they destroy the land they are driven on. They never follow speed limits set for themselves, which then causes people injury and death.
Do we really want our beautiful parks ruined with speed and noise. Or are we going to wait until a person is killed on one of these things or a walker. Not to mention what they would do to the wild life.
Bermuda is another world, please keep it that way we have so few public parks left to enjoy. It is bad enough that we have this problem already with the Jet Skis. Which has noise, accidents and killing our turtles.

This has got to be one of the most ludicrous ideas for tours on the island. It lacks complete common sense given the destruction and disturbance this would cause in our national parks. Our parks should be sacrosanct, untouchable, as that is the only real open space we have left! It is really scary to know this idea has actually got this far but I applaud the government for sending this to public consultation.

Is it April Fools?
I can’t even believe this is even being considered.
Paint balling on Front St anyone?

Why are we even debating this? Throw this idea in the rubbish bin and whom ever allowed it to come this far for debate.

This really is a no brainer. Kill it quickly. How did it get this far in the first place? If the promoters want to run ATV tours do it on their own private property, not public parks.
